Application filed. April 6, 1914. Serial No. $29,799.

vTo all whom 'it may concern.'

Bc it known that l, VICTOR KALFUS, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, re-

siding at New York, in the county of New water boilers such as used in apartments,4

and wherein the water pipes or chambers are arranged at the sides of the furnace,

the heat is not completely utilized, as the flame is allowed to`pass. directly into the chimney.

The present invention has for its object to provide means that can be readily inserted into water boiler furnaces and removably attached thereto for deflecting the flame toward the water pipes or chambers and to thereby cause a more rapid heating of the water and which at the same time will serve as an oven. v

ln the accompanying drawing, in which similar reference characters denote correspondingparts Figure 1 is a cross section on line 1--1 of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 isa vertical section through the furnace with the appliance in working position and Fig.' 3 is a cross section thereof.

a denotes an ordinary water boiler furnace having water chambers a or the like and a2 denotes the chimney. Ordinarily the water chambers are arranged at the sides around the grate and the flame is allowed to pass straight up into the chimney, so that considerable time is required to heat the water.

My new appliance consists of a hollowbers and thereby causing a more rapid heating ofthe water. The body may be held in position by flanges ba provided at its foring for a lid ward end which rest against the outer surfaces of thefurnace asfindicated in Fig. 2. Additional means may be provided for hold ing the appliance in .working position. ln4

the present exampley l use bolts e which are rotatably fastened in the furnace and have hook shaped ends to engage the flanges of the body b.' rllhe body b has an open bottom b', which maybe ordinarily closed by. a slide c.

When it is desired tov introduce a fresh charge of coal the slide alone s-moved out wardly, while the body b may be left in the furnace.

lt is of course understood .that while the body b is in the` furnace the door for the coal openingsmay remain open. The anges t may be made to form a tight closure,

preventing the escape of smoke and the influx of air.

fr@ enable the body b to be utilized as? f recess c which is provided .with a down-` wardly flaring edge and .which with the semi-circular flan e forms va circular openver the opening b2 a pot may be place -when the body is in the furnace. There may also be a vertical slide d, to close the forward open end of the body l), when used for cooking or boiling.

What l claim and desire to secure by liet-y ters Patent is:

An appliance 4for water boiler furnaces, consisting of a hollow body having an' open end and an open bottom, a semi-circular flange at the inner end of said bottom, and a slide for said open bottom,said slide having a semi-circularcrecesswhich with the said flange forms a circular opening for a lid, said hollow body .being adapted to 'be removably secured in a furnace to act as a flame deflector and to serve at the same time as an oven.

ln testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
